Food Loss and Waste Theme Month 2023
Now is the time to highlight the triple-win opportunity of addressing food loss and waste (FLW) to improve climate, nutrition and food security, and economic development.
Welcome to Food Loss and Waste Month on Agrilinks! This month, we celebrate the fourth International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste on September 29, 2023, and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has announced that the theme for this year is “Reducing Food Loss and Waste: Taking Action to Transform Agrifood Systems.” This month, we will be sharing a series of blog posts and resources from our partners, featuring examples from the field and actionable recommendations for the development community. With the 2023 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP28) and other high-level climate and food systems events on the horizon this fall and winter, now is the time to highlight the triple-win opportunity of addressing food loss and waste (FLW) to improve climate, nutrition and food security, and economic development.
